Perception is one thing, but safety and emissions are objective facts. And nuclear power is both clean and safe. You're right that the Japanese are now very skeptical of nuclear power. But it's also an objective fact that this skepticism is dangerous, is costing real lives, and is damaging to the environment. Nuclear power is just that much safer and cleaner than the alternatives.
